Use the Cluster Credential Store

You can store credentials in the credential store for a cluster, so they're not passed in clear text in command line parameters or job code. After you create a credential, you can reference it from your job or notebook. When the cluster is deleted, the credential store is deleted as well.

To store credentials in the credential store for a cluster:

1. Open the cluster console for the cluster. See Access the Big Data Cloud Console.
2. Click Settings, then click the Credentials tab.

   For information about the details on the page, see Big Data Cloud Console: Settings Page.

3. In the User Credentials section, click New Credential to create a new credential.
4. In the Key field, enter the desired name or identifier for the credential. For example: database_password.
5. In the Value field, enter the value for the credential, then click Save.
